I use whatever is "on sale". I have been building several partscasters here in the last few months & have been using whatever I can pickup pretty cheap. That being said, my mid-eighties 52 RI has the stock 52RI bridge pickup in it. I like the stock 52RI bridge, SD 5/2, SD Broadcaster, Fralin BLues Special, etc. I even have a couple in other partscaster that I have no idea what they are (copper base plate, cloth wiring, & no lablel) & they sound great. I think once you get a quality bridge pickup, it doesn't really matter what make it is. Guitars vary so much that one particular pickup will sound totally different in two different guitars. For neck pickups, I have recently discovered te Dimarzio Twang Kings & love them. Very usable neck pickup for a fair price.
